Flavonoid Complex (60's)

In our diet, flavonoids are found primarily in fruits and vegetables; significant amounts of flavonoids are also found in teas and wines. Citrus fruits and berries are particularly high in flavonoids. One of the primary functions of dietary flavonoids is to act as antioxidant protectors of the watery areas in and around cells and in body fluids such as blood.
Using published analytic data, GNLD developed a profile of flavonoids and related compounds present in an optimal serving of flavonoid-rich fruits and vegetables including; Beets, Blueberry, Cranberries, Elderberries, Grapefruit, Grapes (red and black), Green tea, Kale, Lemons, Orange and Raspberries.

Flavonoid Complex was then formulated so each tablet would match the profile of an optimal serving of these foods. Raw materials were carefully selected to contribute representatives of all the members of the flavonoid family including:

Anthocyanins
These deep purple compounds are found in black grapes, beets, red onions and berries.

Catechins
Catechins such as catechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, epicatechin and epigallocatechin gallate are the main polyphenols in green tea. Fruits such as apples also contain catechins.

Ellagic Acid
Closly related to the flavonoid family, ellagic acid is abundant in berries (particularly cranberries and raspberries) and nuts.

Flavones
Flavones include apigenin and luteolin. They are found in citrus fruits, red grapes and green beans.

Flavanols
Flavanols such as quercetin, kaempherol and myricetin are found in many fruits and vegetables such as kale, spinach, onons and apples as well as in black tea.

Flavanones
Flavanones include hesperidin, neo-hesperidin and naringen. Flavanones are usually found in citrus fruits such as grapefruit, orange and lemons.

Water-soluble antioxidants. This is a wide-spectrum supplement. It contains natural flavonoids just as they are found in fruit and vegetables in the natural human diet.
